*****Will's POV*****

I sigh as I see the plane start to touch down from my window seat. Most kids would love a change of scenery, especially if they were going to Paris, but I can't help but miss everything back home. Yeah I know it's my fault for getting kicked out of school but that kid had it coming, first picking on a girl and then threatening to hit her too? I had to put him down. And then I got suspended for fighting in school while the other kid just got a broken nose, so my parents sent me overseas to live with my cousin Adrien for my senior year.

When I get in the airport terminal I scan the crowd for Adrien or somebody that his father, Gabriel Agreste, sent for me but my search turns up with nothing. I walk towards the entrance and notice a bunch of people standing by the windows taking pictures and videos, while another bunch clustered around a TV that's set on a local news station.

As I get closer I realize that they're showing what looks like a fight right outside the airport. Two figures, one red and one black are dancing around what looks like a human airplane.

I walk over to the window to get a better look right when the figure in red, which turns out to be red with black polka dots, is heading towards a window where an elderly Chinese man in a Hawaiian shirt is standing. I quickly run to the man and push him out of the way, just in time for the person to slam into the window I happen to be standing in front of.

***Marinette's POV***

'Well that didn't work' I think to myself as I lay on my back on the ground. 'Wait why is the ground moving?' I quickly realize I landed on top of somebody and scramble to my feet before I turn and help them up as well. "Oh my gosh I'm so sorry! Are you ok?" I ask while quickly scanning them to make sure there are no serious injuries. "I'm fine." he says as he stands up and brushes himself off. "LADYBUG! A LITTLE HELP!" I hear Cat Noir yell from outside. With one last glance at the guy I landed on, I jump out the window to go help my partner.

***Third Person POV***

The akuma is quickly dealt with and before long, Adrien runs in the airport looking for his cousin, who he quickly finds him standing next to the window that Ladybug crashed through. After explaining that the akuma attack backed up traffic, they head to gather Will's luggage from the carousel. As they struggle with the last bag, neither boy sees the elderly Chinese man slip a black box into Will's carry-on bag.

Across town, Marinette quickly drops down on her balcony and detransforms while slipping inside the hatch that leads to her room. She lays down across her bed and yelps as her phone rings next to her head. She looks at the phone, calming down as she sees the picture of her best friend. "Hey Alya, what's up?" she asks when she answers the phone. "GIRL YOU WOULD NOT BELIEVE WHAT JUST HAPPENED!" Alya says as she starts to recount the akuma attack that happened a few minutes ago.

***Marinette's POV***

"Oh Mari did you happen to hear about the new kid in our class?" Alya asks me excitedly, finally done with her version of the akuma attack.

"No I haven't. Is there something interesting I need to know?" I ask her, knowing she's dying to tell me. "YES! Apparently he just arrived today and get this!" She pauses for dramatic effect. "He's the cousin to our very own Adrien Agreste!" She practically announces as my eyes go wide.

"Wow really? What's his name?" I ask her.

"His name is Will. Nino told me that he's here because he got into a fight back home so his parents sent him over here for his senior year. Punched some kid in the nose and broke it protecting a random girl. Is that sweet or what?" I agree with her while moving down into the lower part of my room, changing the subject to our outfits for our first day back to school.

****Adrien's POV****

As we're heading to the mansion, I can't help but be jealous of my cousin. "You mean Ladybug actually crashed into you?" I say laughing.

Will laughs with me, "I know I can't believe it either but I'm telling you the truth! I never thought on my first day in Paris I'd actually get to see Ladybug and Cat Noir in action."

I can hear the awe in his voice when he says the last sentence. I notice we're about to pass the school and I nudge Will. "There's the school." I say while pointing "and there's a park just up ahead and- OH! Can we stop at the bakery Nathalie? PLEASE?"

I give her my best puppy dog eyes (even though I'm a cat) and pout just a little, knowing she's going to give in.

She sighs "Very well." and motions for Gorilla to stop. I open my door and motion for Will to follow, "This is the best bakery in all of Paris!" I tell him excitedly as we walk towards the door. "Doesn't every bakery in Paris boast the same thing?" he asks skeptically.

I laugh as I open the door "They do but this one actually is the best in my opinion."

*****Marinette's POV*****

(Approximately 5 minutes ago)

"I don't know, Alya. I think wearing something I made over the summer is a little-" I pause looking for the right word but I'm interrupted before I can finish.

"Girl, that black and green dress is absolutely perfect for the first day back! It's a modest length and you look gorgeous in it! If that doesn't make Adrien notice you, I don't know what will." Alya says, the finality in her tone making me realize that arguing is useless.

I hold up the dress she's talking about against me and look in the mirror, trying to remember why I was arguing with her. 'Cause i don't want to wear a Cat Noir inspired dress to school especially in front of Adrien.' I think while looking at my reflection.

The dress isn't that bad, it's a simple and modest v neck dress, black knee length with cap sleeves and bright green accents like a thin belt and lace trim on the neckline, sleeves and hemline. As I tell her I'll only wear it with a pair of leggings underneath and ask if I should wear the removable petticoat with it, I hear my mom calling me from downstairs.

"I gotta go but I'll try to call you back later so we can plan your outfit!" I tell her as I hang my dress up. "You better! Bye Mari." I end the call and head downstairs.

****Third Person POV****

"Yes maman?" Marinette says as she comes down the stairs from her room. Sabine Cheng smiles at her daughter, "I need your help in the bakery, if you're not busy. Your father has a few deliveries to make and I need someone to manage the store while I'm in the back."

Marinette perks up at her mother's request. "No problem! Is papa still here?" she asks, heading to the door.

"Yes, he should still be getting some of the orders made." Marinette heads downstairs to her parent's bakery, hoping today won't be overly busy.

As Marinette enters the bakery she sees her father putting the finishing touches on the orders he has to deliver. "Hi papa!" Marinette happily greets her father, "All finished with the orders?"

Tom Dupain smiles at his daughter, "Yep! Just finished the last one!" Marinette watches as he carefully packs all the deliveries together for transport and leaves.

As her mother heads to the back to do some work, Marinette takes the stool in front and sits at the register. As the last customer she has leaves, Marinette texts Alya to continue their earlier conversation, reading the reply when the bell above the door jingles."Welcome to Tom and Sabine's Bakery Confectionery! How can I help you today?" Marinette asks without looking up from her phone.

"Hey Mari. How's it going?" Adrien greets her as her bluebell eyes snap up to lock with his bright green and Marinette momentarily teeters on her seat. "H-hey Aa-adrien. I'm good how are you?" She replies while regaining her balance on the stool.

"I'm good. We were passing by and I told my cousin", he gestures to Will who waves,"that this is the best bakery in Paris so we had to stop and get something." Marinette blushes at the compliment he pays to her family's bakery. "Before I forget, Mari this is my cousin Will, Will this is my friend Marinette Dupain-Cheng." Adrien introduces the two of them.

"It's nice to meet you Will."

"You too, Marinette." They briefly shake hands before Marinette turns back to the reason the boys are here, "So what can I get you two today?" she asks.

Will scans the display cases, mouth watering with every new bread, cake and cookie he spots. Finally he turns to Adrien, "Everything looks so good i don't know how I'll be able to pick anything!" Adrien just laughs before picking something for the both of them, "We'll take the 16 box of macarons please. 4 of each flavor."

"Good choice. I absolutely love these!" Marinette says as she rings up the order. "That'll be $5.96. I'll be right back with those." she tells Adrien before heading to the back to get his order from the freezer.

"She's cute." Will suddenly says, making Adrien drop the change he was counting out.

"What?" Adrien asks with a bewildered look on his face. "I said she's cute. Does she have a boyfriend?" Will asks staring at the door Marinette disappeared through, not noticing the looks Adrien is giving him. "I don't know." Adrien finally says at last, trying to control the urge to tell his cousin to back off cause Mari is his.

(Ok well not really his but he likes her a lot and wants to ask her out but he's too nervous to but then there's Ladybug but Will doesn't need to know any of this.)

Finally, Marinette comes back with the macarons and hands them to Adrien, "Remember to let them thaw for about 45 minutes and to refrigerate the leftovers for no more than a day." Adrien nods and the boys say goodbye. Across the street in the park sits an elderly man, smiling as the turtle does his work.

So chapter one has been rewritten. I'll be taking out the filler chapter and posting it separately.

I've gotten my hands on a different computer (with spellcheck!) and I have a MIGHTY NEED to work on my fanfics. I have another Miraculous fic I want to do but I'm going to try to finish this one first.

SPOILER ALERT! If you like Claire Dearing x Owen Grady from Jurassic World, Chase Young x Jack Spicer from Xiaolin Showdown, and Voltron Legendary Defender, you might want to keep an eye on my profile!
